To ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the boiler it is necessary to carry out
routine servicing at regular intervals. The frequency of the servicing will depend upon the particular
operating conditions, but it is recommended that an annual service should be carried out by a
qualified engineer.
It is the law that any service work must be carried out by competent qualified persons.
NB:
When servicing ensure that the gas and electrical supplies to the boiler are isolated before
any work starts. It should be noted that setting the user controls to "Standby" does not
isolate the electrical supply and parts of the boiler will remain live.
Hazardous materials are not used in the construction of the C40 and C55. However, due care
should be taken when handling boiler components.
All joints should be checked for soundness after servicing and before firing the appliance.
After servicing complete the Gas Boiler Commissioning Checklist - Service Interval Record
(Chapter 9). These forms (Chapter 9) should be kept in a safe place for the life of the boiler.
6.1
Pre-Service Checks
It is recommended that an inspection should be carried out prior to shutting down the unit
for servicing. Remove the front cover by removing the screws retaining the top and
bottom. The following items should be observed:
a.
Smooth starting and running of the blower.
b.
Smooth lighting of the burner.
c.
Check for leakage of gas, gas/air or combustion products.
d.
Check for condensate leaks.
f.
Check that the boiler does not enter "blocks" in operation whilst running (indicated
by the display alternating between "9 nn" and "B nn", where nn indicated either the
flow temperature or the block code). If so refer to section 5.2 and section 5.3 for
details of code meanings and rectify.
g.
Check for water soundness.
h.
Inspect the flue vent and air intake pipework. Joints must be sound and all
pipework well bracketed.
i.
Check that there is a steady fall back to the boiler from the flue pipe to allow
condensate to run back into the boiler.
j.
With the boiler operating at a low return temperature (i.e. less than 50
that the condensate flows freely from the condensate line.
6.2
Recommended Routine Service
a.
Remove the outer case by first removing the securing screws at the top and
bottom of the appliance.
b.
Remove the burner head (Section 7.6) and inspect the burner appearance. Black
markings or other discoloration's on the gauze indicate too much gas or a lack of
air possibly due to a blocked air inlet. Any breakage's or damage to the burner
mesh indicate the burner must be replaced.
c.
If necessary clean the burner with a mild household detergent and rinse under a
hot running tap.
d.
If necessary, from visual inspection, clean the heat exchanger using a suitable
stiff plastic bristle brush, vacuum out any large particles and flush the heat
exchanger with fresh water until the water flowing from the condensate drain is
clear.
